I know for me it did. And to be honest, I hated it when teachers tried to teach us shortcuts in math. A lot of the time I had already figured out a different way to see the numbers that helped me better. I would rather just learn the match from the teacher and I'll figure out a pattern in the numbers on my own.

Your teachers never taught you that? What assholes! My 2nd grade teacher taught us all the tricks. And once we were able to do each of the 1-9 multiplication tables correctly in under two minutes, she bought us a banana split.

Yeah. When we got the one table, we got a picture of a bowl. Then when we got twos, we got a banana, then a few scoops of ice cream, then whipped cream, hot fudge, and then finally when we got the 9 table, we got a cherry on top. And when the picture was completed, we were given a coupon for a free banana split. Loved that teacher!

Do you remember how back in the day, all our teachers told us we needed to learn how to do all this math by hand because we wouldn't be able to carry a calculator around with us at all times? Freaking liars.

I remember when I first learned matrices I was totally thinking that it was the most useless subject that I had ever learned. I'm pretty sure I use them in every class now, except a computer program does them for me.
